})

blockHash (optional) #

• Type: '0x${string}'

const transaction = await publicClient.getTransaction({
  blockHash: '0x4ca7ee652d57678f26e887c149ab0735f41de37bcad58c9f6d3ed5824f15b74d', 
  index: 0
})

blockNumber (optional) #

• Type: '0x${string}'

Get information about a transaction given a block number (and index).

const transaction = await publicClient.getTransaction({
  blockNumber: 69420n, 
  index: 0
})

blockTag (optional) #

• Type: 'latest' | 'earliest' | 'pending' | 'safe' | 'finalized'

Get information about a transaction given a block tag (and index).

const transaction = await publicClient.getTransaction({
  blockTag: 'safe', 
  index: 0
})

index (optional) #

Notes #

• A Transaction is not to be confused with a Transaction Receipt. A Transaction is a message sent by an account that is broadcast to the network, whereas a Transaction Receipt is the confirmation that the transaction has been processed and included in a block on the blockchain. You can get a Transaction Receipt using getTransactionReceipt.
